Support LoadBalancer for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Continue of #43287, this PR adds LoadBalancer support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets. To achieve this, this PR also
- Add a general VMSet interfaces for VMSS and VMAS, so that we won't add much if-else blocks for different logics
- Add scale sets implementation and availability sets implementation to VMSet
- Add vmSet property to Azure cloud provider and call vmSet instead of direct azure clients
- Add LoadBalancer support based vmSet

Azure: Allow VNet to be in a separate Resource Group
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR allows Kubernetes in an Azure context to use a VNet which is not in the same Resource Group as Kubernetes.
We need this because currently Azure Cloud Provider driver assumes that it should have a VNet for himself but if there is one thing that should be shared amongst Azure resources it's a VNet cause, well, things might want to talk to each other in a private network, don't you think ?
I guess this should we backported down to 1.6 branch.

azure: msi: add managed identity field, logic
**What this PR does / why we need it**: Enables managed service identity support for the Azure cloudprovider. "Managed Service Identity" allows us to ask the Azure Compute infra to provision an identity for the VM. Users can then retrieve the identity and assign it RBAC permissions to talk to Azure ARM APIs for the purpose of the cloudprovider needs.
Per the commit text:
```
The azure cloudprovider will now use the Managed Service Identity
to retrieve access tokens for the Azure ARM APIs, rather than
requiring hard-coded, user-specified credentials.
```
**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: n/a
**Special notes for your reviewer**: none
**Release note**:
```release-note
azure: support retrieving access tokens via managed identity extension
```

Add initial support for the Azure instance metadata service.
Part of fixing #46632
@colemickens @rootfs @jdumars @kris-nova
- leveraging Config struct (—cloud-config) to store backoff and rate limit on/off and performance configuration
- added add’l error logging
- enabled backoff for vm GET requests
An initial attempt at engaging exponential backoff for API error responses.
Uses k8s.io/client-go/util/flowcontrol; implementation inspired by GCE
cloudprovider backoff.
